Private Dog River, Jeita Grotto & Harissa Tour | Half Day

Three of Lebanon's most compelling attractions — one private half-day from Beirut. This tour covers more ground and more history in six hours than most full-day tours manage in eight, beginning at one of the world's most extraordinary open-air archives of ancient history, descending into one of the most spectacular cave systems on earth, and rising to a mountaintop shrine above the Mediterranean. Start at the Dog River canyon — where the limestone walls have been carved with victory inscriptions by Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings, Roman emperors, and French generals for over 3,000 years. Then enter Jeita Grotto — a finalist in the New 7 Wonders of Nature, where stalactites and stalagmites tower over you on foot and an underground river carries you silently by boat through chambers of extraordinary natural beauty. End at Harissa — rising 650 metres above the Mediterranean by cable car to the iconic shrine of Our Lady of Lebanon. Three worlds, six hours, entirely private.
